Having work in the Netherlands back and forth for last 5 years I would say the Dutch are a lot more chilled when driving. Just as sugar at driving as we are in the UK but more relaxed about it.

@Rmacaul.
Beware in and around Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and on the highways connecting them. Mostly black cars, older audi's and beamers... Blacked out windows and driving permanently on the left lane... ..This is the habitat of these -wannabee (?)- gangsta's ... Dutch police spend most time in meetings about re-organising. Catch rate for anything is below 10% .
Not for speeding , thats 90%...

I know your guys like to send a speeding ticket.....
The last one Avis sent on to me was €35 for 1km over the limit.
Then two months later Avis topped it with a €45 admin fee.

I'm not saying the old geezer was anywhere near right for his actions, but as usual the DM story is far from accurate...... the busy A27 motorway??????
As has been said before, what happened before the filming started? Remember the dash cam footage a while back where the guy with the moped had run backwards into a woman's bonnet? If she didn't have a dashcam and you only saw the other guys footage, would you have believed what really happened?Joined the BMWX5 45e group

We dont know how it started, but we do know that an off duty police officer intervened and matey had the chance to calm down and try and resolve matters peacefully. He chose not to. Not a good move.
And why was he out of his car? Why not stick to a bit of verbal and hand gestures? Interesting that he had the presence of mind to pretend he couldn't breathe.Tony

not one of here I hope
MP04 GOS
appears to be attacking others at junction and even fighting against police officers when they intervened
hope it's not a member here
The junction is a set of traffic lights that cause massive tailbacks and I guess inevitably tempers rise when perceived slights or injustices happen.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

As I said : they 'conveniently' leave the start of it all out of the 'evidence' , they are framing the guy literally..
